The SteelFusion Edge appliances contain two physical nodes per appliance, which provide true hardware resource separation and isolation. These two compute nodes, the RiOS node and the hypervisor node, are connected through Gigabit Ethernet interconnects that allow both nodes to communicate for management, networking, and storage data.

Each node has its own resources with the exception that the hypervisor node does not contain storage resources other than hardware for the hypervisor boot device. Storage for the hypervisor node is provided from the RiOS node through the interconnects using iSCSI.

The SteelFusion Edge appliances are the virtual edge of the data center that allows end users in a branch to access and write to centralized storage over the WAN at local speeds.

The SteelFusion Edge 2100 are 1U appliances that can provide WAN optimization, BlockStream-enabled storage, and hypervisor functionality. They support two independent nodes with its own management and monitoring. The appliances have four disk drive slots that are numbered 0 to 3. The appliances also support different combinations of network interface cards (NIC) that can be installed in the back of the appliance.
